The brief was:  A simple, elegant, casual frame to be hung in the casual, dining area of a home who's colour is predominately white and  "Hamptons" in  style with a touch of French provincial.   It was to incorporate a poem taken from the menu of my client's favourite restaurant and a very old key. The rest of the items we found on ebay, auction rooms, and a French inspired shop. Click on image to enlarge.

A 40th birthday gift.  It includes such items as her first baby rattle, her husband's wedding day cufflinks, a Tiffany & Co. keyring given to her for being a bridesmaid.  All items  too precious to be kept in a drawer, unseen by the world, but yearning to be displayed, out of harms way.
